Let's talk about it.
Boca House has an all-you-can-eat menu. Let me find out! So here's the deal: you have to go in between Monday through Friday, from 4 PM to close. The whole party has to participate, and you have to sign a waiver. That's insane, imagine paying $25 a lb for uneaten food. If you're with a big party, you should be golden, especially if you throw down like I do. If it's a date night, I could see how you may have a lot of left over food focusing on trying out other dishes. Good luck!
We stopped by for my mother's 4th birthday dinner, she's celebrating all month. I thought it was a nice touch that they put a "Happy Birthday" overlay across the table, along with some balloons. Although, the balloons looked like they might've been leftovers from the weekend. They were kind of deflated and doing the stanky dance. There were actually about four other birthdays happening at the same time, which I found interesting. I haven't been to a place recently with that many birthday celebrations going on.
So let's start with the appetizers.
In my opinion, the classic truffle mac & cheese was fantastic. Extremely cheesy, with a crazy cheese pull and a little hint of truffle throughout every bite. The pork croquettes looked like meatballs, but they definitely hit the spot. I would highly recommend them.
The tequeños were, well, tequeños. You can hardly go wrong with them, and they were definitely good.
Now moving on to the bao buns.
The pork belly was absolutely fantastic. The crispy shrimp was all right. The Vaca Frita was the most creative one with fried cheese and maduro, but could've been seasoned heavier. First round was nice, 2nd round was heavy and overwhelming.
I only tried the Boca House Roll since it's a Latin-inspired roll with picanha, maduro, and cream cheese. That's my kind of roll. The Pork Belly Crunch causes was all that, so much flavor!
The chicken chaufa was just okay. This is something I'll recommend to skip, boring.
The arroz cremoso de aji amarillo included shrimp, and man, that thing had so much flavor. It was insane. Definitely packing a punch. Very well seasoned. Some people might say it's salty, but it hit the spot for me.
Now, I can't say the same for the arroz cremoso de mariscos.
Bro, that thing was bland. No flavor. Nothing. Poorly executed.
The Peruvian New York steak was good but I didn't care for the noodles, a little bland. Now that I think about it, I should've ordered another Steak without the noodles.
Overall, for $34.99, I can't complain.
This has been the most satisfying experience when it comes to all-you-can-eat places where you order off the menu. It was a nice spread with many different flavors and types of foods VS other locations where all the food taste the same or prepared the same.
Forgot to mention, they gave my mother one of their legendary birthday desserts, which was a nice gesture. But honestly, after that kind of meal, it was just too much. We were about to explode. Nonetheless very thoughtful. The standard dessert was vanilla ice cream with Nutella. Very basic. By that point, I was so full I didn't even care.
I skipped the all-you-can-drink package since it was a Tuesday, but I'll definitely try it next time. It's only $24.99.
Service was great too, forgot our servers name but we left him a nice google review.
I'll give them an 8.2 out of 10.
